Dominican Republic Mission
The Barrio : incredible poverty amidst tropical
splendor.
The clinic at Centro Buen Pastor (The Good
Shepherd Center) is open daily. Mothers and babies line the waiting rooms
every morning.
LEFT: Too often, acutely malnourished children are
brought to the nutrition center. Severe protein deficiency is usually the
problem. RIGHT: Volunteers at the center assist in the nutritional
rehabilitation of malnourished children.
The result: a healthy baby! Dr. Jim
Ely (left) of Bay City, Texas, donated his time and
talents to the barrio clinic. And a happy baby! 
Sister Jean (right),
an Episcopalian nun, enjoys a laugh with a rehabilitated infant. 
Dr. Gordon Moore (left), Houston pediatrician and EMMF Chairman,
examines a little girl at the barrio clinic.
The sisters arrange for the young ladies of the barrio to have a "fashion
show" to model the clothes they have learned to make with donated
materials.
